Manila envelope laptop sleeve

Looks like those Macbook Air ad-makers inspired more than one designer's quest to create the perfect Air laptop sleeve. Michael Leung's Mac bag lightly touches upon the classic manila envelope, retaining a simple, modern bag-like feel. Wonder Threads, on the other hand, took the campy, photorealistic route with the appropriately-named Macbook Air Laptop Sleeve, made of poly-microfiber with a fuzzy neoprene lining.

Love the Wonder Threads sleeve!!! Going to order one now! Thanks for the link.

This is not design! It's:
saw it,
copied it,
sold it!
I think it's lost everything that was emotive about the manila envelope.

i prefer michael leung's Mac bag.
